Menus vs Widgets

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am trying to create a website to showcase my rental property. I have set up some custom widgets on the right side but I don’t want all of them to appear on each page. I guess I don’t know if a custom widget is what I want. I feel as if I want to create pages within pages. What is the best way to go about this?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Sidebar content is common to all blog pages (except in themes that don’t display -or can be made not to display- the sidebar on static pages). You cannot have different widgets on different pages.

    Perhaps what you’re looking for is child pages (created by selecting a parent in the Attributes module of the page editor). In the theme you’re using, child pages will show up as dropdowns when you hover over the parent tabs in the header.

    Ok I think I understand. So if you look at my current site now I have custom text widgets on the right side. I want to make those child pages to the parent pages at the top of the site. To proceed I should turn the widgets into pages and then organize them into child pages of the specific parent pages I need?

    You go to Pages > Add New, type the right title, select the right parent from the Parent dropdown in the Attributes module, type content, click Publish.
